<span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri">I think this will be one of the biggest things in the near future. It’s a no brainer. Companies are already in love with VMWare – however, anyone who has half a brain will never run an Oracle production database on it, as the combo is simply not certified. In fact, according to metalink note 249212.1, Oracle has not certified any of its products on a VMWare virtualized environment. Oracle support will only provide support for issues that either are known to occur on the native OS, or can be demonstrated not be as a result of running on VMWare.</span>

It's almost 3'o clock at night - I arrived earlier today in Birmingham.
</p>
<p>
By sheer luck - both me and <a target="_blank" href="http://oracledoug.com/serendipity/">Doug Burns</a> arrived at the Jury's Inn at the same time... needless to say ... we ended up in the hotel bar 5min later where we joined the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.pythian.com/">Pythian</a> crew (including Paul Vallee!).

<p>
I gave Doug an ORA600 polo shirt 3y ago - and I noticed the print is totally worn off ... funny enough, it actually works as a gimmick ... it encountered severe corruption. <img border="0" src="/sites/all/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-wink.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" />

Anyway - It's great to be here again - but as it happens I got called for a recovery emergency and I'll probably be working all night ...
